The following comments by Obama well describe the mindset in operation in the HOA-Land Nation. It explains the conduct and behavior of the vast majority of HOA members who completely support the acts, actions, views, and values of their board of directors no matter what.[1]
In a recorded private call[2] in regard to the dropping of charges by AG Barr against Flynn, President Obama had this to say, “That’s the kind of stuff where you begin to get worried that basic — not just institutional norms — but our basic understanding of rule of law is at risk.”
Furthermore, President Obama made the following observations about the dramatic change in American values.
“What we’re fighting against is these long-term trends in which being selfish, being tribal, being divided, and seeing others as an enemy — that has become a stronger impulse in American life. . . . It has been an absolute chaotic disaster when that mindset — of ‘what’s in it for me’ and ‘to heck with everybody else’ — when that mindset is operationalized in our government.”
As for HOA-Land, “What’s in it for me” applies to maintaining property values and “to heck with everybody else” applies to failing to defend member rights of due process protection and the equal protection of the law. The means justify the ends – protecting my property value.
